When a pretty French student is found dead in her room at an exclusive private Oxford college, everyone assumes it is yet another sad case of accidental drug overdose. But Detective Inspector Hillary Greene quickly begins to think otherwise. As the investigation unfolds, D.I. Greene soon discovers that the young victim had been leading a very interesting life indeed. And when a highly unusual cause of death is established, she finds herself leading a high-profile murder inquiry. This is certainly no time to be distracted by a cheeky animal rights charity trying to claim her house, or fret about the permanent transfer to her station of the man who once investigated her for corruption. Murder beckons!
Private eye Paul Lomax never wanted the case. Checking on errant wives wasn't his scene, but Rex Saunders seemed a likeable guy and keeping an eye on his ex-fashion-model wife Mona promised to be all profit and no pain. How was Lomax to know that foxy old Rex was keeping so many secrets? And then there was the problem of Lomax's budding relationship with the glamorously irrepressible Melody Brown. Taking the case didn't help the romance along, especially when Mona dumped her inhibitions and demanded a little attention. Now Mona is terrified by sickening threats and the local morgue is filling up fast. When a hit man moves in and the police don't want to know, Lomax and Mona find themselves on their own. Will they be able to hide from the orgy of violence erupting all around them?
